[speedster1219]

Ive used Metzler M-1's and Rennesports....but the M-1's would be better for all around...

Pirelli makes somethin similar (cant remember name)......but its all good.

*double post taken care of!*

BuyMoto is ALL about the deals. ;) For those on a budget, we have tire sets for less than $200 without you guys having to compromise performance and quality to get something affordable (best not to skimp on tires since that's what's between you and the road pretty much). Like.. don't ever buy a Cheng Shin tire unless u got some ratty old moped you want to slap some rubber on.

You can check out what we have listed on our website so far.

http://www.buymoto.com

I'm actually still at the shop if you want to give me a call or stop by. We have Dunlop D208ZR's in stock at nearly 50% off retail pricing.

Dunlops
Dunlop D208ZR (120/70ZR-17) - Front (http://www.buymoto.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=508)
Dunlop D208ZR (180/55ZR-17) - Rear (http://www.buymoto.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=511)

Personally, I really love the Bridgestone SS tires. Supersticky street tires and lasts quite long too! We currently have these in stock as well.

Bridgestones
Bridgestone BATTLAX BT012SS (120/70ZR-17) - Front (http://www.buymoto.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=503)
Bridgestone BATTLAX BT-012SS (180/55ZR-17) - Front (http://www.buymoto.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=504)

For those interested in D208GP-A Race compound tires.. we got 3 fronts and 2 rears left in stock. Pricing can be seen on our website HERE (http://www.buymoto.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=418)

Hope this helps. ;)

i am thinking what we might end up doing is take the d207's off my 750 and throw them on the 6hun and then get some tires for my bike because i hate the 207's and we arent sure how much longer we are going to have the 600 anyways so no need to get a nice new set for it then get rid of it - only have 2k miles on the 207s so that would prolly be the best bet

going to check out the site now - do you guys have a tire machine? and do you offer any of the road hazard insurance stuff?

[iceman1911]

and also are the diablos on the site the corsa's? or is that a different kind of diablo?

No tire machine yet, but we hope we will have one delivered and ready to go within the next month or so. Turns out the 33 gal compressor i have is not big enough.. has to be 80 gallon moving lots of air!

Because of our break-neck pricing on tires, we are not currently able to offer "road hazard insurance"... however, because we are always working to improve our policies, we are willing to entertain policy proposals. If you have an idea you would like to share with us that you think would work for everyone, please let us know. :)

The Pirelli Diablo's on the site are the Diablo's. We have yet to list the Diablo Corsas. Will get to that as soon as possible today.

[iceman1911]

do the corsa's qualify for the free front deal? if so that might be the best deal - ill roll on anything that Arnold reccommends he is like my idol except he rides a yamaha :-p

Pirelli does not offer that deal with the Diablo Corsa tires unfortunately. It's a Diablo deal only.

we bought it mostly for me to have something to ride while my bike was getting fixed we might keep it yet still not decided i would like to see her keep it but the insurance is quite a bit more and she has always had her eye set on the new gs500

[iceman1911]

so whats the better tire dunlop 208 (non race) bridgestone battlax's or pirelli diablos (not corsa)? we need to get a set by this weekend and cant really wait for the free front or else buy a front and send in for the free one and have an extra

Hey, hey, I gots love for SCREWSUZUKI's too! ;)

[GPTECHMAN]

he's just saying that cause Ima gonna own him at big track

[iceman1911]

oh and neither one of us are dragging knees or really going edge to edge on the tire yet

[GPTECHMAN]

I say diablos
then birdgestones

the bridgestones are a sweet price though!!!!

[iceman1911]

there is only like a few dollars difference between any of the choices so i would just rather get what will work better - i cant justify spending the extra cash on the corsas right now since i wont get the proper usage out of them =(

[GPTECHMAN]

diablos!!!!!!

here is the way cycle gear does it - you pay 10% of the cost of the tire for the insurance - if you incurr damage to the tire and there is more than 75% of the tread left you get a new tire if it is less than 75% you get a pro-rated amount towards a new tire so if you have 50% left you get 50% of the cost of the tire back

dont get it....not worth it, and nick, Bryants got the battleaxes in stock, they're super sticky and you could get em pronto...

under the circumstances that you need it this weekend I say the 12SS

its dual cmpd with stickier rubber on the sidewalls and harder in the middle
